His call probably haunts Mark Morford at night. Morfod must want to go pierce that whale with his harpoon.

..... singing at a frequency of around 52 hertz .....
Its calls ..... clearly those of a baleen ..... which usually call at frequencies of between 15 and 20 hertz. A Soprano Whale.
It swims with the fishes.

OMG! This is the Great White Whale, which was prophecied to come and lead all Whales out of bondage and into the freedom of the Promised Sea!

Well, no, actually. And now, I'm kind of wish I hadn't posted the thread after that.

More like billions.
We're actually listening to all the submarines of all the countries in the world. However the network also just happens to record whales as well.

Not me. I prefer a 60 cycle hum.

Some ocean Discovery channel type show briefly talked about the sound monitoring system and the guy was playing tapes of whales, etc.
He played one that was distinctly different than the other ones - sounded almost electrical or "alien" like - much weirder than the others. He said we have NO idea what this is - and said it comes from some remote area (Middle of the Indian Ocean?).
